iariaWhatever Remains, However Improbable
+ I loved the move to London. It's an exciting change and a much needed one I think. I really hope it's permanent because if they somehow find a way to walk it back next season I'm going to be really disappointed.
+ Sherlock/Joan are as always wonderful. That final scene was amazing.
Joan: We could have fought this together.
Sherlock: We could have failed.
Joan: That doesn't sound like us.
"We're partners." - Joan
"No. We're much better than that. We're two people who love each other. We always have been." - Sherlock.
I loved Sherlock's desperation to protect Joan, to the point that he convinced someone to burn down their house in order to destroy potentially incriminating evidence.
I loved his final solution to protect Joan's future while also not going against her wishes to protect Hannah.
+ While I loved Sherlock's monologue about his feelings for Joan I am a little disgruntled that Joan didn't get her own speech to him. Either before he left or after she got to England. He changed her too. He made her life better.
+ I appreciate that the show spent the time setting up Marcus's future this season even though with the complete change of location it wasn't actually necessary. It's nice to know that even if we never see him again he's gone on to bigger and better things.
+ I'm disappointed that we didn't get a final Joan/Marcus scene. We didn't see him at her bedside at the end of 6x20 and then they don't share one scene this episode. Boo!
+ I was also annoyed and disappointed that Joan wasn't with Sherlock when he confronted Gregson. She was with him when they learned the truth and there was no reason in show for her not to have gone with him. I get why they didn't want her there and I loved how it all played out, but damn it I want that Gregson/Joan scene. It's clear that she doesn't feel betrayed by him the way Sherlock does and I doubt she's all that angry at him but they're friends too and they deserved a final scene.
+ The Gregson/Sherlock confrontation was really well done if painful to watch. Both their positions were sympathetic and their desperation was so clear. Gregson knows how much Sherlock blames himself so for him to blame him too was - ouch. And Sherlock feels so betrayed. I really hope that we see Gregson again next season so we can get some closure on this.
+ I really did feel bad for Gregson. That was such a terrible position to be placed in and now he's going to have to live with the fact that he helped his daughter get away with murder (even if he was a serial killer) and has lost his two best consultants, not to mention their friendship.
+ I was expecting something a little different. Either more convoluted with Michael having set up his own murder to frame Joan or more out of the blue with Moriarty having killed him (she's been mentioned multiple times this season and has killed to protect Joan before.) But this was good too. I missed the previouslies so the Hannah twist surprised me and I loved it.
+ I hope with them in London Kitty will show up again and that we get the return of Moriarty.
